Authorities in Uganda have detained 62 Nigerian nationals for “illegally operating a church” and living in the country without work permits.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, the Ugandan department of citizenship and immigration control (DCIC), says the arrest followed a tip-off after learning that the individuals were operating illegally without the required permits.
DCIC wrote: “Following a tip-off, our enforcement team has arrested 62 Nigerian nationals operating illegally in Adjumani (without work permits).”
It added that “The group, primarily found operating a church among other things, is now being processed for prosecution under Uganda’s immigration laws.”
